  RECOGNIZING THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mrs. RADEWAGEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. RADEWAGEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of the University 
of South Carolina women's basketball team.
  These amazing athletes from my good friend   Joe Wilson's district 
completed a perfect season, culminating in a championship win.
  Special congratulations to senior guard Te-Hina Paopao and her 
contributions to the team.
  ``Congratulations on your great sportsmanship.'' ``Malo le ta'alo 
fa'a tamali'i.''
  Te-Hina Paopao is of Samoan heritage, and I know our islands always 
love to see our Pacific athletes excelling on the national stage. She 
will have lifelong memories of scoring 14 points in the national 
championship.
  I congratulate all her friends and family cheering her on in our 
Polynesian communities from her home in California and elsewhere.
  I so enjoyed watching this game that attracted millions of people 
with lots of nationwide excitement about all the great teams competing. 
I thank the South Carolina women's basketball team.
